Pfft, that was pitiful. Screamer's all wailing around like a child instead of, you know, pulling the darn thing out of his eye. Sure, it would have been painful, but it'd be like ripping off a band-aid for him and would make him look less like a pathetic baby. Grow a spinal rod, Screamer.

I'm probably the only one that found that scene entertaining. I was laughing at poor Screamer.

And Sam so should have lost an arm during all that. No way would he have stayed in one piece with all that force being applied to his shoulder joint.

When I was watching that, I was hoping for the same thing.

I would love to see some of the Marvel story arcs put on screen. But I guess I am biased, because that's what i grew up with and that's what I hold every other series in comparison to.

I would agree, but the Marvel comics also had their fair share of lousy humans who took the spotlight more than they should have: Donny Finkleberg, Bomber Bill, Joey Slick, Cliff Dietz, the Spacehiker children, the Roadjammers, and worst of all, the Mechanic.

While some of these guys did only appear in one or two issues, their constant focus in said issues still made them less enjoyable reads.

Agreed. These characters generally disappeared once Furman took over, with the exception of the Binary Bonders and the Neo Knights. I still say some of the story arcs from the comics (especially later on) would make really good movies.

You got that right, Sabrblade. It seemed like many of the Decepticon deaths were total letdowns. BB killing Soundwave? ya right! BB is a scout, he shouldn't have the physical strength to pull off such crap, esp when its clearly just fisticuffs. And that screamer scene is exactly what I meant by formulaic... Sam somehow survives the whipping around, and on top of that, gets saved JUST in time by BB. After a while, these close calls are just pointless coz sam will always make it.
I'm just happy I got to see him get beat to **** in lawless.
